The inspection details: "10f. Non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material, not kept clean, or not properly sealed, raised, spaced or movable to allow accessibility for cleaning on all sides, above and." These circumstances require correction according to industry standards.
The inspection found infractions involving sanitation, a fundamental aspect of food service operations.
Industry experts consistently emphasize the critical importance of proper sanitation protocols. The Food Safety Modernization Act clearly states that Federal regulators use FDA sanitation guidelines as the benchmark for evaluating food service establishment compliance.
The implications extend to broader community food safety standards. Health department data shows that correction of violations helps maintain community health standards.
Local regulatory authorities have ordered that Naya swiftly remediate the documented deficiencies before reopening to customers. Additional review is planned to confirm remediation.
These findings underscore the essential nature of comprehensive health compliance in restaurant operations. Community members should feel empowered to examine health department findings when choosing restaurants.
